    This is very similar to what I used.

    Good stuff. I bought a roll of that a while back to line my bumper cutouts. A little heat gun makes it more pliable and the adhesive sticky. Too much heat gun caused ripples.

    OOOOOOOOH...Steve: did you use a heat gun on it? Is that just the adhesive from the stripping itself?

    No, the stuff I have has double sided adhesive on it. Just peel and stick. it's pretty pliable. I just try to remember to clean the surfaces I put it on with alcohol or acetone.

    Not sure what you see. It installs and removes very cleanly.

    I was looking at the corners here, and wasn't sure what I was seeing:

    I ran back to back tests with the foam baffles in and out as described in the previous posts. At idle, these was a 1-2db delta with the advantage going for the baffles in.

    I then drove the car on the expressway, which is Hwy 400/19. The freeway is 4 lanes x 2 (4 lanes north, 4 south), resurfaced/grooved concrete. There are elevation changes, but enough steady throttle to get accurate results. I went no higher than 5k RPMs accelerating, and engaged the cruise control once I achieved 80mph and left it there.

    Baffles in:



    Baffles removed:



    This confirms what I saw glimpsing the meter as I drove, about a 2.5-5db difference across the range in the duration. This is not insignificant for such a simple mod.

    Pretty interesting.

    Curious: where was the mic? Since the interior is such an echo chamber, sound volume depends a lot on where you're listening from.

    Either way, good info!

    Ah, great point! The mic was my iP6 mounted on the left eyeball vent of the centerstack.
